How can God use ME??

Challenges

Everyday I'm met with a new challenge. Somedays I am able to solve them that day, but there are some that have hung with me for years now. And I know why. I hang on to them. I don't want to give them to God.

I'm worried that He won't fix them. I know He is almighty and I shouldn't be worried because He will do everything I need in time, I'm still human. I know that's no excuse.

As a straight A student, I can't help but freak out if my grade drops to a B. One day, I happened to check my grades to see not only a C but a D as well. I flipped out. The C was an easy fix and I was back at an A that day, but the D wasn't so easy.

For three weeks, I worked my butt off to get that grade back up, but the highest it got was to a high C. That's when I realized something. Not only were my grades flopping, I was constantly grumpy and sad, and my friendships and my relationships with my family were sliding downhill too.

One night, I had enough and I broke down at the foot of the cross, crying to out to Jesus to help me. I was trying to take my life into my own hands, and I was failing. Miserably. The next day, I woke up and I was completely different. I was happy for once.

He saved me in one of the lowest points in my life. I was depressed. Satan was ruling over me. My family was falling to shreds. I was about ready to quit on God. But just as my last finger was slipping off the rope of life, I was pulled back onto my feet.

My grade was pulled up to an A within two days. God worked what I consider a miracle that day. He fixed my broken life. And I can never thank him enough.

Although I have definitely fallen flat on my face and He has given me and my family some battles to fight, we've overcome. My family is stronger than ever. I've become closer to them than I was before. I wouldn't be where I am today without Him. That sounds insanely cliche, I know. But it's so true.

I met some of my best friends at church. If I wasn't in my relationship with Christ, I would've never met them. My family would probably still be in ruins because Satan would have ripped us to pieces.

Thank you God for my healthy family and my happy heart, and Lord I pray that I don't fall that low again. I can't thank you enough. In your amazing name I pray, amen.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭NIV‬‬
